La solidarietà in tempo di crisi

The text examines the intersection of the cost-of-living crisis, energy insecurity, and climate change in Europe, arguing that these shocks reveal the failure of the current socioeconomic model. It suggests that Green parties must move beyond austerity or simple redistribution to advocate for public investments in the green transition, decentralized renewable energy cooperatives, and a Green New Deal to ensure social protections and ecological resilience.

• The cost-of-living crisis in Europe is not a short-term turbulence but a sign that the region's social, geopolitical, and ecological security relies on a failing socioeconomic model, exacerbated by the pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the climate emergency.
• Rising energy and transport costs are pushing people into poverty and fueling political instability, as seen with the Yellow Vests in France and the victory of far-right parties in Italy and Sweden in September 2022.
• The author argues that Green parties should reject austerity and instead promote social safeguards, redistribution, and alternative ways of meeting needs, such as reduced rail fares, energy-saving subsidies for families, and decentralized democratic renewable energy cooperatives.
• The current crisis provides an opportunity to accelerate the end of fossil fuel dependence and implement a Green New Deal based on public investment in common goods and the green transition.
